DKrazy Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I want to install the Community Tech Tree mod, but I'm worried about my already existing save files. Would installing the mod mess with my current games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Moved to Add-On Discussion. A lot of people run multiple installs of KSP for this very reason. They'll have a stock unmodded install, an install with mod set A, and another with set B, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadJohn Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 @DKrazyThere's a risk of breaking saves any time you add/remove/update mods. Here's how I handle it. I bought KSP through Steam. I copy that KSP install folder to a new folder so that it's unmanaged by Steam. Then I add mods and play from that 2nd folder. If I later want to make some mod changes, I first backup the 2nd folder first so I can easily undo the changes if needed. To explain how that might work for you, find your existing KSP folder and copy it to something like "c:\KSPwithCTT". Then install Community Tech Tree into that folder and either start a new save or see what happens to your existing save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that mess anything up if I created another install folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
